WORK EXPERIENCE

AMS Layout Engineer/ AMS Layout Lead
02/2018 - Present
Texas Instruments Pvt Ltd
• Responsible for area optimization, IP hands-on execution, scheduling, resource management, layout reviews and signoff for analog IPs along with guiding junior engineers
• Primary interface with global TI teams; ensured analog IP deliverables alignment across design, DFT, PD,DV and system groups, handle IP integration related issues
• Built from scratch of IPs like split cap based 4MSPS SARADC, SDADC, COMPs, Power Management Units, PLL, SYSOSC, LCD, ADC-VREF, LDO etc in 32MHz, 80MHz & 160MHz MCUs
• Responsible for analog block placement & chip level routings for multiple M0 and M33 MCUs, flagged multiple RTL bugs
• Flagged DRC ruledeck bugs w.r.t substrate isolation/yield & extraction bugs thus saving $$ in respins/test cost
• Created analog IP handoff checklist for SoC integration (there by leading to quality related automations in PD team)
Lead Layout Engineer for SDADC TestChip
07/2018 - Present
Texas Instruments Pvt Ltd
• Planned and executed 84dB/4ksps SDADC testchip layout for energy meter front end, leading a team of 3
• Proposed & built custom PCELL (ZTCR + metal cap) reducing IP area by ~6% by co-ordinating with PCELL team
• Achieved first-pass silicon success with strong matching, layout symmetry, fast cycle time & critical RC constraint & with first time interns as resources
